AR 343 - Modern Art History Fall

Institution:

Cornish College of the Arts

Subject:

Description:

This course considers selected artistic movements from approximately 1850-1945, concentrating on how those works can be understood in relation to the development of the modern art world and changing conceptions of what the experience of art should be. Students consider developments such as the movement against national academies of art, roles of subjectivity and politics in the conception of an artistic avant-garde, and the notion of social position (gender, race, class, etc.) as driving forces behind artistic production. By investigating primary texts, students will gain an appreciation of the aesthetic values of this period and an understanding of historical, socio-political, religious, and other contexts for the creation of art. This is a writing-intensive course. Open to non-majors. Note: This course will satisfy H&S Humanities or Elective requirements for Non-Art/Design students. Open to non-majors.
